A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
决定
Decisions
Sometimes we do not know what role we play until it is thrust upon us and we can only then do our best to carry it off.
有时，我们不知道自己扮演的角色，直到它强加给我们，我们只能尽我们最大的努力去完成它。
I chose and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. You have to move on.
我选择了，我的世界被震撼了。那又怎样?这个选择可能是错误的;但选择却不是。你必须向前看。

If we're not careful, we can get caught up in talking about what we don't know ...instead of acting on what we do know.
如果我们不小心，我们可能会陷入谈论我们不知道的…而不是按照我们所知道的去做。
The decision is not whether or not we will ration care. The decision will be whether we ration care with our eyes open.

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
一个真正的决定是由你采取了一个新的行动来衡量的。如果没有行动，你还没有真正决定。

沿着这个主题，再读几句。
